The reaction quotient ‘Q.’ is useful in predicting the direction of the reaction. Which of the following is incorrect?

Options

A. If `Q_(C) gt K_(c)` , the reverse reaction is favoured
B. If `Q_(C) lt K_(c)` the forward reaction is favoured.
C. If `Q_(C) gt K_(c)` forward reaction is favoured.
D. If `Q_(c) = K_(c)`, no reaction occur.

Answer

C

Explanation

(a) If `Q_(c) gt K_(c)`, the reaction will proceed from right to left i.e., reverse reaction is favoured.
(b) If `Q_(c) lt K_(c)` the reaction will proceed from left to right i.e., forward reaction is favoured.
(d) If `Q_(c) = K_(c)` the reaction is already at equilibrium and no reaction occurs.
